Stage 3, mathematics, Year B – Unit 34
This 2-week, Year B unit develops the big idea that what needs to be measured determines the unit of measurement.
In this 2-week unit students are provided opportunities to:
- solve problems by comparing and measuring lengths and recording solutions using the appropriate units of measurement
- convert between common metric units of mass (grams, kilograms, tonnes) and lengths (millimetres, centimetres, kilometres)
- record lengths and distances using decimal notation
- make connections between benchmark fractions, decimals and percentages
- use efficient strategies to calculate the perimeter of various shapes.
Additive relations A – MAO-WM-01, MA3-AR-01
Apply efficient mental and written strategies to solve addition and subtraction problems
Additive relations B – MAO-WM-01, MA3-AR-01
Applies known strategies to add and subtract decimals
Geometric measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA3-GM-02
- Length: Connect decimal representations to the metric system
- Length: Convert between common metric units of length
- Length: Solve problems involving the comparison of lengths using appropriate units
Non-spatial measure A – MAO-WM-01, MA3-NSM-01
Mass: Connect decimal representations to the metric system
Non-spatial measure B – MAO-WM-01, MA2-NSM-01
Mass: Convert between common metric units of mass
